(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Friday. Since October 2008 market makers are now required to be on the bid as much as they are on the offer and for like amounts of stock. This Fair Market Making Requirement is designed to prevent market makers from manipulating stock prices. On Friday there were 3775 companies with "abnormal" market making, 4758 companies with positive Friction Factors and 1245 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with Abnormal Price Friction (bullish bias) in their stock prices. This means that there was more selling than buying in the stocks and their stock prices rose.

For example, the chart above shows XOM with 4,066,334 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $2.47000.
